I wish they'd tone the silliness down a bit. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This is a good show & all but this show goes a little over board with trying to be funny all the time.It seems the actors are trying too hard that it looks like it comes out all forced and fake almost.It reminds me of Kenan & Kel a little bit... both were over done with that but that was an ok show also.I mean the Psychic powers are cool and everything.. I don't know I guess I was kinda hoping that this show had sort of a serious tone to it but had a funny side too like Taina.

I wish they'd done down the silliness, too. I think Raven -- the show and the actress -- is at its/her best on those rare occasions when they have a serious moment. I'm a sucker for good physical comedy, but the stunts on That's So Raven often seem a little over the top, IMO. I hope the second season tones down the goofiness, because the show has a lot of other good points and great potential.

I think the sillyness is great!

.:Illusion:. · 08-31-2003, 01:04 PM

you righ' but the silliness does look a bit forced @ times, but it's still laugh-ou'-loud funny!

It's already a great show,and the sillyness looks natural,not at all forced,you'd just have to be a so-so silly person to understand the extent of the show.

I think the show is awesome how it is, and the sillyness adds to the show.

Raven,in my opinion,is a natural comedian...how many people do you know who can make people laugh just by facial expressions?Her timing is good also,she has comedic timing like:Martin,Eddie Murphy,not just being funny,like she can improvise her lines well,and she knows how to react at certain situations,when they occur...damn I should write a report about this
